Anyone experiencing shorter battery life? Mine didn't last the day which it normally does. By 2 pm I had to charge where normally I would charge when I go to bed. So I lost 8 hours. I did a system cache wipe after the update and if battery life doesn't improve I'll do a factory reset.

My Note 4's battery life nose dived after the update. Cut in half. Cache wipe didn't help, waited a few days, didn't improve. I did the factory reset and still nowhere near what it had before, but it improved. A few days later, the battery life keeps getting better and it's back to what it was before. So I'd suggest to back everything up, do the factory reset, and give it a week to 'stabilize'.

Yes, stand-by & up-time were immediately decreased after I installed lollipop. I haven't done a factory reset yet, it's clearly becoming inevitable. Losing data, funtionality, glitches, mini crashes, settings changes, IE & Firefox now on Injured Reserve. A mandatory house cleaning did help. Slowly battery life has improved, but I find more and more issues each day. I should've done the reset and been done with it already. :/

It's a hit or miss, really... a friend of mine has a T-Mobile Note 4, just as me, and his improved right away, without cache or factory wipes. Mine went into the ground from day 1 after the update.

I probably could have left it alone but I did a reset today. If for nothing else to make sure I have a clean install.
